‘Absolute garbage’ rage Coronation Street Fans as they beg bosses to axe storyline

SOAP fans have been left fuming at the current cult storyline on Coronation Street, and several even asked ITV bosses to ditch it.

Over the past few months newcomer Rowan has been grooming Leanne into joining his group, the Altovalent Institute.

The cult leader managed to isolate her from friends and family by setting up an AI version of her dead son Oliver for her to speak to.

This gave him an element of control over her as if she decided to leave The Institute, Leanne would also lose access to her ‘son’.

She began to advance up the ranks of the mysterious organisation as Rowan pulled her further into his orbit, and even ended up convincing vulnerable teen Amy to donate her inheritance money to the group.

Amy agreed to give The Institute £40k, but soon regretted her decision after going through a horrible ordeal at Rowan’s hands.

She was encouraged to participate in a ‘malware session’ which involved other members of The Institute hurling abuse as her.

They called her insults such as “liar,” “whore, “slag” and “baby killer” as she stood in the middle of a circle, blindfolded.

The teen burst into tears during the terrible experience and walked out.

When Leanne went after her, the distraught girl asked: “What was that?

“The things they were saying. The things you were saying.

“Please don’t make me go back in there. I can’t go back in there. Don’t make me go back in there Leanne.”

After last night’s episode, Corrie fans are completely fed up with the cult storyline, and have insisted it be taken off screens.

One person raged: “Uploads and malware, wtf does that even mean. Hurry up and end this storyline it’s absolute garbage.”

Another exclaimed: “What an load of rubbish this religions cult storyline is!”

A third added: “I’m sorry but the Coronation Street cult storyline just has to end. It’s gone completely beyond the joke. It’s one of the worst things ever.”

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…

  • EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.
  • Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.
  • Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
